How to Write Your Website's "Our Team" Page

Promote Your Employees So they Can Promote Your Brand

Akio Morita, co-founder of Sony, said, “I emphasize this—no matter how good or successful you are or how clever or crafty, your business and its future are in the hands of the people you hire.” Your employees are the foundation of your brand. Showcasing your team members and introducing them to your audience creates relationships with customers. Don’t make your “About Us” page an afterthought. Use the “Our Team” page to make your brand more personal.

The Positive Effects of Biographies on Your Website

When your audience browses your content, they may not think about reading the people profiles page right away. As your reader gets closer to making a purchase, he/she may want to know more about you and the people you have working with you. Bios are that introduction, turning your brand into faces and friends. Your Team page shows customers that you are more than just words on a website.

  • A strong “about us” page increases the credibility of your business.
  • Bios about the talent you hire increases the trust of the customer.
  • You showcase your diverse workplace.
  • A good team page can make your business stand out from the crowd and be remembered.

What Elements Are Essential in an “About Us” Page?

Employee profiles should tell the team member’s story. It’s not a time to be boring or humble. You don’t have to be a braggart, but you should have each employee share what they bring to the team. It’s okay to share accomplishments or capabilities. Some companies have professional copywriters write the bios, while other companies let the employees write them. It can help to create a template for the team, so they all include the same information.
These details are important:

  • Name
  • Position
  • Years with the company
  • Industry experience
  • Accomplishments

Most About Us pages also include a photograph of each team member. Wistia uses a yearbook approach that is very engaging. When you move your mouse over each team member, it comes to life with different poses. Digital Marmalade uses three photographs of each team member, a professional head shot, a photo from childhood and a picture of the person in a superhero costume.  It’s okay to be silly and fun with your bio pages. It doesn’t need to be stuffy to be professional content. Be creative and let your team’s personality shine through.

Take Your Website to the Next Level

Adding a team bio page or updating it with some creative content can make your team want to share your website so their friends and family can see who they work for. Your team page is a valuable part of your content strategy that you shouldn’t overlook.

Content Marketing Best Practices that Garner Attention

Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams”? It made popular the phrase, “If you build it, he will come”. Shoeless Joe and other baseball legends may have magically appeared on a cornfield-turned-baseball diamond. However, when it comes to content marketing, your audience will need more than a field of dreams to attract their attention. If you’re trying to get more traffic to your website, don’t wait for your local SEO efforts to direct your audience. Give them a hand with these proven content strategies.

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages. Without these essential supports, your ‘content superstructure’ will neither stand strong, nor will it attract the right attention.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

How to Build a Functional Content Marketing Funnel

Most people don’t wake up and think, “oh, today is the day I buy my new mattress,” unless they’ve researched different brands and checked pricing at different stores. Modern customers often take their time with major (and even minor) purchases.

5 Proven Ways to Improve your Website Ranking

The rules of SEO can often feel elusive, as if SEO is a great big experiment in which the parameters keep changing. Search engines keep updating the algorithm. User behavior is evolving and adapting to circumstances, all the time. You don’t have any control over how pages rank, or do you? Google will never share how it determines SEO ranking. Customers change how they search and shop. We may not fully understand the complexity of search engine algorithms, but we can test different elements of a webpage to see how customers and search engines respond to your content marketing strategies. It’s called split testing.

Revitalize, Refine, Repurpose

The Pareto principle is also known as the 80/20 rule. About 80% of your best results will come from 20% of your efforts. When you apply that to a creative endeavour like content marketing, you might be undervaluing some of your content creative efforts. It can be expensive to create content, from scheduling videographers, photographers, models, or even having quality copywriters write a blog post. Chances are that you have some valuable content that can be recycled or repurposed with a little elbow grease.
